With whomever we decide to trade Revis to, would it be a bad idea if we said we will take a 1st Round Pick Next Year and a second or third this year or next year? With Jadeveon and Qb's like Bridgewater, Manziel or even if we got EJ Manuel this year and combined both #1's depending on where we finish to move up and get Clowney would be a success. We could Probably get a Pass Rusher and a QB in one shot. Those two players in one draft would really make our future bright.
Haha, the Tampa GM is playing the trade game just as much as the Jets are. Tampa wants to show everyone that Revis is not that important to them just as the Jets try to show that he is necessary to the Jets organization (and thus worth a lot).
Revis will be a Jets for one more year and be gone without any compensation. So we will have our best player in a year which doesn't matter, because the rest of the Defense has already left the building. Trade the A$$ and get what you can, being greedy will net nothing in a nothing year. This GM needs to clean house, build up draft picks and start from scratch. The team and the CAP are a mess and next year he will be able to bring in his own coach and should have draft picks available to entice a proven coach to come in.
Do you really mean ro suggest the players are too stupid to inderstand how Mevi$ demands affdect the salary cap, and theor ability to get paid????
revis is great, but i think it's tough to tie-up so much of the cap in a cornerback. for a quarterback or an l-t-type linebacker, you can. but for a cornerback, it's tough. that said, it's not like there's a stud quarterback available to the jets who revis' contract is limiting signing. so it's kind of a moot point now. getting a number of good player for revis makes sense but i guess it's not pressing. what would be the compensation for revis if he just walks as a free agent after 2013? it's actually just a matter of revis-for-a-year plus the compensation or no-revis-this-year plus an extra pick. great to get an extra pick, which would probably be around a first rounder, but not getting that isn't make-or-break. the jets just have to run their ship better all-around. revis is a side-story.
This basically never gets mentioned, but due to some details in Revis's contract, if he walks into FA after this season, we will still be hit with a 3M cap hit. Might be peanuts to some, I'd just have a hard time seeing him go AND get fined for it.
the scenario I most like is signing him to an extension at a reasonable rate, somewhere around $13 mil a season.
Let's not trade him if we aren't getting what we want. Worst case, he will play the year to prove he is worth a big contract and we will have 2 shut down corners on a year we lost 2 reliable safeties. Please let's not panic and trade him just for the sake of trading him
You know what top DE/DT's make? If Mo Wilkerson is a pro bowler next year he's going to be looking for top-end compensation. If the Jets pay Revis at the very top-end they're going to have to franchise Wilkerson to keep him because he's not going to settle for anything less than top end if that's what the Jets established as the going price for one of their other defenders, no matter who that is. The Jets have to trade Revis. They can't keep him at this point without having the move blow up in their faces when some of their other young players are up for a second contract.
trading Revis will cost $13 million - no matter what. $13 this season is traded before june 1 or $9 million this year and $4 million next if traded after. Trading him will cost more than paying him. It just makes more sense to redo his ontract and lock him up long term. To trade him, get the cap hit, and sign a replacement you will end up paying what $16-$18 million over 2 years when you factor in salary and hit? Is keeping Revis really going to cost that much more?
Man, Brad's Revis hatred knows no bounds. What does how much Wilkerson will ask for next year, which is unknowable at this point, have to do with whether Revis is still on the team or not???? Wilkerson, the locker room cancer such players always are in Brad's eyes, will likely ask for as much as he thinks he's entitled to no matter where Revis is. and to speculate at this point about the cap next year being too problematic to keep both Revis and Wilkerson is similarly ridiculous. It depends too much on other things which we don't know either. But to say Willkerson's situation means the Jets have no options other than to trade Revis now? Well, that is certainly creative. I have not seen that argument anywhere else. To be fair. That doesn't make it a good argument, though.
You can't just blindly say it makes sense until you see what the new contract is. Trading Revis kills the cap this upcoming season but the hit next season isn't enough to impact the franchise in a major way. Signing him to a big deal eats up a big chunk for his entire contract length. ==== There are arguments to be made on why Jets should keep Revis but this isn't one of them. Unless you think Jets can get Revis to agree on a 2-3 year contract.
But they have so much cap room opening up next year and the league cap is going up. A good contract shouldn't kill their cap. They just need to arrange his contract s that what Wilkerson's contract is up they have money to play with.
